1t proposes, that if newspapers
will not publish at one.third rate,
then it is to be published at any

present Legislature does not regu-
late this matter, the most extrava-

done in 1879, and the Legislature
will be log-rolled for large appro-
priation. The price to be paid

for IL insertions for any circulation
Of 500 and under, and if there be
not as much as 1000 words then the
amount to be proportionately re-

about as follows:
For publishing for three months,
next preceding the general election
in 1888. in one newspaper in every
county where paper is printed, not
exceeding $4,000. In making con-
tracts for advertising said amend
ments the Governor shall not agree
to pay exceeding $50 for IL inse:.

words to paper whose circulation
during the preceding year has ay-
eraged 500 or under, nor more than
5000 to paper whose. circulation
is 5000 or under, and in that pro-
portion where the circulation is be-
tween 500 and 5000. If there be no
paper in county, or if ihe papers
in any county refuse to publish the
amendments on these terms, then
they shall be advertised in such

Although the proclamation of the
Governor mentions certain subjects
to be acted on by the Legislature,
yet this is a matter entirely within
the perview of providing for de-

ded to the saving to the State will
cover much, il not all, the cost of

THE SPECIAL ELECTION.


The Republicans Have Not Gained Votes
A writer in one of our county pa
pers has given an expose of the mis-
representations sent abroad by the
'portly CORRESPONDENT with porten.
tious brain" (?) whom Camden and
the Wheeling Register imported in
to this county. / give some facts
anent the situation here, showing
that the Democrats have no cause to
fear the sicklied dominancy of Rep
ublicans with which ex-Postmaster
Lil-zen-ring threatens US.
Here is table comparing the vote
by precincts for Delegates to Legis-
lature at General election in 1882,
and at Special election in 1887.

THE RAILROADS AND THE NEWS
PAPERS.
Philadelphia Record.


Whilst the operation of the Inter
state Commerce law may possibly
have made it necessary for the rail
road companies TO advance through
rates tor traffic hauled thousands
of miles, nothing contained in it
obliges them or justifies them in in
creasing their local tariffs. Where
ever this is done contemporaneously
with the beginning of the operation
of the new law it is done with the
expectation and design of creating
an adverse public opinion. The
railroad tariffs within State lines are
not subject to the supervision ofthe
Interstate Commissioners, yet there
has been most obnoxious, aggra-
waiting and unnecessary recasting Of
local rates both for freight and pas
senger traffic. We observe that GER
tain newspaper editors are promptly
PLAYING into the hands of the rail
roads by assuming that their adj
vanced rates are the necessary con.
sequence of Congressional interfer-
ference.
And why should local traffic be
charged with the cost of unprofita-
bic competition with water carriage?
The newspapers which, IN this con-
test for fair play, lend themselves
without proper investigation to a
scheme TO force the repeal of wise
and proper law by unreasoning
clamor are dong the people a palpa-
BILE injury.
Were it not for a few newspapers
like the Record and the DEMOCRAT
the press, under the dominion of rail
road managers, might soon so intim-
idate the politicians in Congress
that they would repeal the Inter
state Commerce bill; and vet, were a
vote of the people taken directly on
the issue, this law would be sustain
ed by the greatest majority ever
given at an election. Newspaper
clamor must not be mistaken for the
popular judgment. Owing to the
malign influence railroads exert in
politics we now have in front many
time serving politicians afraid to
speak one word in public on this
subject; but presently men will be
found with courage enough to dis
cuss railroad rule on the hastings.
A bold and fearless discussion and
exposure of the corrupt methods
employed by railroad managers will
bring to competent man an invinci-
bic personal following. 1t is truly
astonishing that so few of our poll
ticians have sagaclty enough TO
comprehend the opportunity now
presented.
In Philadelphia recently, we in
quired Of very intelligent gentle
mao, the>cause of the phenomenal
success of the Record. His reply is
full of significance and instruction;
There is a genera. feeling in this
community" he said, that Singerly,
being a man of large wealth, will
not sell the columns of his paper to
persons who wish to mislead opin-
ion." Newspapers find it profitable
"to play into the hands, of the rail
road managers.
